Note: When
the right side of the Moon is illuminated, the Moon is increasing
or waxing. When the left side illuminated, the Moon is decreasing
or waning. (Of course, this only works in the Northern Hemisphere.
In the Southern Hemisphere the effect is just the opposite!)

The
New Moon can be thought of as a no Moon! Its sunlit side is facing
away from Earth toward the Sun. The side that is facing Earth is not
getting any sunlight, leaving it dark and invisible to us ... no Moon
to see! A New Moon lies between the Sun and Earth. Helpful
Image + DescriptionBTW: The only time a New Moon
can be seen is during a solar eclipse, when it passes directly in front
of the Sun, visibly showing off part or all of its entire dark disk.

Note: For
those living in San Francisco this New Moon takes place overhead
just 40 minutes after high noon. The Sun and New Moon are
located in the same constellation for other
parts of
the world; this constellation, in differing time zones, lies in
a different location above or below the horizon.

Did
You Know?

A
total solar eclipse is produced when the New Moon crosses directly
in front of the Sun and is close enough to Earth to appear bigger
than the Sun; hence, the Moon when viewed from Earth is able
to completely cover our central luminary. In
2010 the
Sun, furthest from Earth July 6,
appears near its smallest size during this eclipse. In addition
the Moon, at its closest for 2010 July
13,
appears near its largest size.

The
Sun’s diameter, 400 times larger than the Moon’s,
is balanced when the Sun is roughly 400 times farther from Earth
than the Moon.

A
solar eclipse is always a supercharged New Moon that marks new
beginnings. A new awareness is being offered to us by our shadow
self, the dark void, the infinite unknown. "Eclipses dredge
the past, wrinkle the present. ... awaken to the clarity
of intuition and this wisdom inherent in the Here and Now." Jacqueline
Lasahn This eclipse is a
personal and global opportunity and challenge to come into a
new balance and level of wholeness. How
To Deal With Eclipses

In
this Eclipse, the activation of Easter Island will re-activate
deep Oceanic energies that have been held there by the ancient
Elders of the Planet. ... A
goal of this activation is the deep remembrance of Ancient
Creative Partnerships with the Oceanic Beings of Light that
will begin
to resurface in your Collective Deep Consciousness at this
time. Many of you will dream of the Oceans and make contact
with the
Cetaceans and the Beings of the Sea. The Ancient Archetypes
and Energies will arise to be integrated into the incoming
Cosmic
energies of Ascension and Transformation. The result will
be a powerful Creative Partnership for the Creation of the
New Earth
and the Cleansing and Nurturing of the Oceans. The

Reflections
~ The Sirius / Leo New Moon

The Sirius
~ Leo Festival is celebrated at the upcoming Full Moon
(7/25) occurring during the Sun sign of Leo (7/22-8/22). This
great
world Festival
and its lunar cycle are dedicated to the task of making contact
with
the evolutionary forces of Sirius, our Spiritual
Sun and brightest star in the heavens. The influences
of Sirius are focused and regulated through the star Regulus,
the heart of the Lion, found in the constellation Leo. Awareness
of the Leo-Sirius connection has a unifying effect on all of
humanity and its world religions. During this time soul-infused,
focused humanity has the opportunity to align with the greater
cosmic energies beyond our solar system.

With
every New
Moon our soul goes into meditation and aligns with the inspiration
of the Nirmanakayas;
a potential is enlivened and a seed of consciousness is formed
deep within. Take some time to create a sacred space. A new cycle
is beginning.

the star Wasat north of Procyon in Canis Minor. Review the map above.

The
Gemini Twins are marked by the two principal stars:
Pollux, the immortal extraterrestrial one, and Castor
the mortal terrestrial one, the extraterrestrial incarnate.
... The role of the Twins is one of linking and uniting
the mission of the soul into and through our incarnate
daily affairs and mode of participating in the world.
The Twins work hand-in-hand for the betterment and
evolutionary fulfillment of humankind. And of course,
Gemini is of knowledge, information, and the exchange
of it through commerce and daily activity. Nick

It
is important to note that Gemini keeps the interplay
of energies between dualities active and flowing so that
eventually
they
reach synthesis
and
unity. The constellation Gemini forms a point of
entrance for cosmic energy from Sirius, allowing the

In
Summary

The
order of our lives is being challenged with this supercharged
New Moon. The infinite unknown is offering humanity a
new awareness and the evolutionary forces of Sirius are
impressing us. An alignment with the Ancient Archetypes
and the greater cosmic energies is possible; these potent
earthly energies and heavenly
powers are beckoning us. We are moving through
a doorway of higher unified consciousness. There is no
turning back.

It
is written in the heavens. The time has come to harmonize
dualities by recognizing we all are
of divine lineage, evolving toward our greater
destiny.

Each
of us has an inner divine twin with whom we can intuitively
work in daily creative partnership to bring out the best
in all. This co-creation establishes the New
Earth. Through humanity all things are possible
to Deity.

We
are being tugged, pulled and lifted out of a divided darkness
into the light of unity consciousness.

~ Waxing Crescent Moon,
Parade of Planets

Overcoming
obstacles to the new incoming awareness begins with the waxing
Crescent Moon. What was conceived at the New Moon, Out
of Divided Darkness ~ Into the Light of Unity Consciousness,
(review
above) is now in the process of waxing or gestating.

July
13,
Tuesday twilight time, a young Moon joins the parade
of planets and the star Regulus. Catch a first glimpse
of horizon-hugging Mercury, as it rises out of the Sun's
glowing embrace to reappear in the evening sky! You'll
need right timing and a clear sky and horizon to spot
a slim, low Luna left of the elusive planet. Mercury
sets at 9:35pm, the Moon at 9:55pm; use binoculars to
easily spot the pair. Approximate set times for the other
planets can be found under the map.

Mercury
is located at the heart of Cancer and the Moon is located
in Leo the Lion's den. We are reminded to build our lighted
house (Cancer) intuitively guided by the soul's Higher
Law (Leo).

July
14,
Wednesday evening, the Crescent Moon forms a triangle
with blazing Venus and Regulus in the Lion's Den. You
may need binoculars to spot Regulus. Can you see the
other parade participants?

Regulus,
the Lion-Hearted Lawgiver, focuses and regulates the
evolutionary energies of Sirius and
the Christ consciousness
toward Earth. Venus and the Lawgiver stimulate the
quality
of love-wisdom within
humanity. Open to these liberating emanations that
grow the light of the soul. Ponder
humanity's divine lineage. Namaste!

Look
for Spica, the brightest star of Virgo the Virgin,
near the Moon Saturday evening July
17. The planetary parade can be seen off to
the right. Use binoculars to bring out the subtle hues
of reddish Mars, yellowish Saturn and bluish Spica.
Blazing Venus lacks subtlety and is now soooooo bright
it is being mistaken for a UFO! BTW: Spica
and the Moon disappear below the horizon around midnight.
From nightfall to midnight binoculars make vivid the
terminator line on the Moon.

When
you look at the moon in any phase other than full,
you are in fact seeing portions of both the day side
and night side of the moon. The name for this border
between lunar night and day is the terminator line.

If
you’re using a telescope or binoculars ...
look along the terminator line. There, shadows are
causing lunar craters and mountains to stand out
in stark relief in contrast to the surrounding plains.
This is, after all, the line of lunar sunrise, and
in some ways it’s similar to the long shadows
we see on Earth at sunrise or sunset.

If
you were standing at the location of that line on
the moon’s surface, you’d be standing
at the edge of day, or night. A similar line on Earth’s
surface passes over you each day at sunset and sunrise.
But there is one important difference. On the moon,
there’s no dusk or dawn, because the moon doesn’t
have any air to disperse sunlight, and to create
the twilight that we see on Earth. Deborah
Byrd/EarthSky.org

Note: Look
for First Quarter Luna in the day sky on Sunday, low
on the eastern horizon around 3:00pm and overhead 7:00pm-8:00pm.

The First
Quarter Moon, exact Sunday,July
18, at 3:11am PDT (10:11 UT) squares
the Sun at a 90-degree angle and brings up a tension,
as we struggle for fulfillment. Ideally any obstacles
impeding the awareness conceived at the New Moon are
overcome at this time.

First
Quarter Luna activates Spica and
stirs the spirit within. Spica, symbolizing the sacred
womb of Virgo the Virgin, accepts and nourishes the seed
of Arcturus,
the savior avatar. Helpful
Star Map This seed of divinity resides in Virgo and
therefore within humanity.

The
energies of Virgo the Virgin nurture and shield humanity's
hidden divinity. To understand this is to recognize the
fact that each and every one of us is essentially
divine. Honoring and calling forth God's
light in all, lifts us out of a divided darkness into
the light of unity consciousness. Namaste!

Note: It
is interesting that July 17 and 18 are
the convergence and launching points for a unity consciousness
global meditation. See Conscious
Convergence for more information.

The
two brightest stars of Libra are the "missing
claws" of the cosmic Scorpion, Scorpius. The star
names Zubeneschamali (zoo-BEN-ess-sha-MAH-lee) and
Zubenelgenubi (zoo-BEN-al-je-NEW-bee) in Arabic mean
northern claw and southern claw respectively. They
date back to a time before the Romans created Libra
the Scales, the 12th constellation in the zodiac.

Any
night in July and August look for the cosmic Scorpion,
a sprawling "J" shaped constellation,
in the south at sunset.Antaresis
the red heart star of Scorpius. Image

Coincidentally
a giant red star named Antares is right where his
[the Scorpion's] red heart should be. And it is huge.
Whereas we could fit over 1 1/2 million of our Earths
inside our own Sun, Antares is so huge we could fit
over 350 million Suns inside it! In fact if we placed
one edge of it where our Sun is it would reach out
past the orbits of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, and
Jupiter. Plus it is so far away it takes its light
over 520 years to reach us. Wow! Find the scorpion
this summer! Star
Gazer2010 Script 7/12-18

Can
you spot the Scorpion's "missing claws" (now
the constellation Libra) and its two stinger stars,
sometimes called cat's
eyes? Use binoculars to see M6
and M7 above the stinger. Track
Bunny's Footprints in Scorpius throughout the year!
What two stars do the Scorpion, Kitty and Bunny have
in common?

Note: If
you have trouble viewing all the stars that shape
these constellations, look again when moonlight doesn't
veil them.

The waxing
Gibbous Moon is more than half lit, moving toward
its full sunlit phase. Illumination and growth are
offered by this lunar phase, only if the obstacles
from the past are cleared away. This must happen, if
the energy released with the coming Full Moon is to
be utilized.

July
20-22,
Tuesday-Thursday, Luna transits the cosmic Scorpion and
is near Antares, the red heart star of Scorpius July
21.

When
the Moon transits the burning ground of Scorpius,
it activates the transformative power within us, the Kundalini Fire
of Life. Scorpius is the seat of the coiled serpent power
and Antares the
serpent itself ready to be enlivened. Opposite Antares
in the zodiacal wheel lies Aldebaran,
the illuminating eye of Taurus
the Bull, the star of enlightenment. Antares wields
the Fire of God by its connection to Aldebaran. The Aldebaran
/ Antares axis is activated by the Moon's presence.

Aldebaran
emanates a governing vision for humanity, while Antares
keeps the enlightened vision of the people current, ensuring
growth, evolution and change. This political balancing
act keeps expanding our mortal limits, often through
conflict that ultimately brings harmony. Compassion and
cooperation ease humanity's transition to Divine Governance
and its emergence into the light.

...
the New Structure for Planetary Management or Governance
... will emerge in the twenty-first century ... [and]
represent Divine Government on Earth. [T]here will
be two phases to this "project", and that
the First Phase is already in operation. In this First
Phase, you are being gradually shifted from a Planet
of separate national identities based on a money economy,
to a Fifth-dimensional Unified Planet based on an Economy
of Love, Co-Operation and Sharing. In the First Phase,
you will begin to create networks and structures that
will express the Fifth-dimensional energy of Oneness
and Unconditional Love. Now, as these networks emerge
and strengthen, they will begin to take the interest
of those in "governments", and in the Second
Phase there will be a merging of the functions of various
governments into this Planetary or Global network of
Love. Heaven and Earth will merge in a very literal
way, and what will emerge at the end of this process
will be a Unified Planet under the Stewardship of a
Council of Elders who will guide the Earth's development
in Co-operation with Spirit. The

~ The Sirius / Leo Full Moon

Any Full
Moon experience can offer us greater illumination
of our essential
divinity. Issues worked on since the New Moon come
to a climax. If the restrictions of the past have been
released during the waxing Moon, then the Full Moon
can bring fulfillment. If not, the Full Moon might
bring serious mental conflicts, possibly affecting
the physical body.

What
was conceived at the New Moon, Out of Divided Darkness
~ Into the Light of Unity Consciousness, review
above now comes to fruition and is birthed into the
full light of our conscious minds.

During
the Sirius
~ Leo Festival, the Soul Light within us is ever
increasingly aware of the spiritual light emanating from
Sirius. This great Sirian light is becoming more available,
bringing to us a new opportunity, a
new path. The Sirius ~ Leo Festival prepares humanity
and in turn planet Earth for perfection and ultimate
cosmic service, bringing us into contact with the
Heart of God.

~ The Full Moon's Position

The
Full Moon lies at the western
end of Capricornus below Aquila the Eagle.It conjoins
Altair, the head and brightest star of Aquila. This star
is also the southern point of the Summer Triangle. Use
this Summer
Triangle Map and this 7/25
11:30pm Star Chart for orientation.

The
constellation Capricornus opens
the doorway to our divine head center and the immortal
life of spirit.
It carries the seeds of death for the material life and
awakens one to a higher spiritual frequency and its potential
earthly expression. Capricornus aligns humanity with
a new cycle of effort, initiation and service.

Aquila
the Eagle, the royal eagle of Jupiter and the great bird
of Zeus, is a messenger from heaven, who leads us to
immortality by lifting us to the realms of higher mind
and intuition. Aquila and its brightest star Altair soar
above the Full Moon symbolizing vision and freedom. In
flight Aquila is known to carry mighty thunderbolts in
his talons. These can shake one to their core, if one
resists the divine message. Listen!
Co-create with the inner divine one!

Hmmm
... It is curious that the eagle, a
symbol of the United States, has this close relationship
in the heavens with the Sirius / Leo Full Moon.
May the U.S. be lifted out of divided darkness
into the unifying realms of higher mind and guiding
intuition.

Reflections
~ Full Moon's Illumination

The
Full Moon during Leo is illuminated by the Sun in the
constellation Cancer.

Leo
stands in a unique relationship to the sun at the heart
of our solar system. The planetary and systemic alignment
established at this Festival is a heart / soul alignment.
The heart of humanity, the heart of the planet ~ the
spiritual Hierarchy ~ and the heart of the sun create
the channel which extends to Sirius ... This alignment
is evocative of the cosmic principle of Love and Freedom,
both of which flow through Sirius and Leo into our
range of awareness. Lucis
Trustwebsite,

Leo
the Lions highest expression is the fully
integrated personality ignited by the fire of Divine
Will. The self-awareness gained in Leo opens the door
to the group service of Aquarius,
which stands opposite Leo in the zodiacal wheel.

Cancer offers
the opportunity of the "dark light" of matter
to be stimulated by the light of the soul.

between Saturn's order, discipline, predictability and
Uranus' surprising change and original experience.

Jupiter
... makes a sustained square with Pluto as Jupiter
stations at the same time as the fifth Saturn-Uranus
opposition of July 26, 2010. This immediately precedes
a very powerful and catalyzing Jupiter-Pluto-Saturn

and expansion toward later 2010; and an emergence from
this intensity in early 2011. Nick

In
Summary

The
order of our lives is being challenged, as we are tugged,
pulled and lifted out of a divided darkness into the
light of unity consciousness. This lunar cycle finds
us integrating the New Moon's earthly Ancient Archetypes
of the Easter Island solar eclipse with the cosmic evolutionary
forces of the Sirius ~ Leo Full Moon.

Lengthy
and vital planetary interactions are creating cracks
in our foundation, the ground we stand on. We must lift
ourselves to the higher ground of soul and
its guiding intuition.
It is here that we can receive thenew
awareness of the infinite unknown. With the light of
the soul we see how to bring these new energies into
our everyday lives.

The
seeds of death for the current material life are activated
and we must awaken to a higher spiritual frequency and
its potential earthly expression. Now is the time for
the "dark light" of matter to be stimulated
by a far greater light.

"I
am of the Earth. I am of the Heavens. United I am as
ONE." Each of us, essentially
divine, can intuitively work with our greater spiritual
power. By invoking this power in a daily creative partnership
we bring out the best in all. This co-creation establishes
the New Earth.

It
is written in the heavens. The time has come to recognize
we all are of divine lineage, evolving toward our greater
destiny. During
this Full Moon Festival we make contact with the Sirian
force, its evolutionary energies and the cosmic principle
of Love and Freedom.We
are moving through a doorway of higher unified consciousness.
There is no turning back. The
heavens are pouring forth new life ... drink up!

Through
the stars, Cosmic beings are communicating with us.
They are members of the great Spiritual Hierarchy,
of which we are a part. We can see, our relationship
to these embodied Cosmic lives is as real as our relationship
to our fellow beings in the world.

Those
great beings are bringing the qualities of Unity, Compassion,
Freedom, and Cooperation to our Life and planet Earth.
We now affirm our service as a channel for these Cosmic
Lives as they guide us ever closer to our Divine Destiny.

~ Waning Gibbous Moon,
Jupiter, Uranus, Pisces

Ideally
the waning
Gibbous Moon is a time that readies us to manifest
anew. It brings illumination to the influences of
the entire lunar cycle. If not, dis-ease results.

These
celestial energies are reminding us of the Christ
consciousness, humanity's essential
divinity, the awakened heart and soul. Jupiter
is brilliant and illuminating in this celestial position,
for it is the brightest light in the morning
sky and also in the evening sky after Venus sets.
The giant planet is ultimately bound to be light
for our world, expanding our hearts and minds. The
call to humanitarian service is strong with Jupiter
in Pisces. In this location Uranus also sheds its
light upon our world by surprisingly shifting humanity
into a new reality with new visions, freeing us from
the outdated, limited form-life. Jupiter in close
proximity to Uranus began its 10-month opposition
to Saturn in May 2010.

The
Jupiter-Uranus synthesis will mobilize, magnify
and expand upon the radical changes already occurring
in our lives. ... We can however expect a massive
and unexpected turn of events that certainly can
be of beneficent nature in the long run, even if
not appearing so at the onset. ... Jupiter's standoff
to Saturn and arrival to join Uranus may catalyze
some intense experience. However, Jupiter's arrival
is quite welcomed, one that ultimately will yield
a very progressive mobilization of long awaited
change ... Nick
Fiorenza: 2010 New Moon 4/14 Excerpt

The
fifth exact opposition
of Saturn and Uranus occurred a few days ago
on July 26. The first
exact opposition was November
4, 2008 (U.S.Election Day). This lengthy and
vital planetary interaction is bringing about major
social, religious and cultural transformations. One
must find a balance between Saturn's order, discipline,
predictability and Uranus' surprising change and
original experience.

The
energies of Jupiter and Uranus opposite Saturn also
interact with Pluto, the agent of death.

Jupiter

When
the Light of the World, the World
Savior, frees humanity from subservience to the
form, the darkness of matter ends forever; the Doorway
to Paradise opens and new dimensions of reality are
experienced.

Note: Above
the constellation of Pisces the World Savior lies
the Great Square of Pegasus. Review map above.
The ancient Babylonians called this square "The
Doorway to Paradise." Today astronomers travel
through this doorway or "window" to the
edge of our Milky Way Galaxy and go beyond to other
galaxies!

As
if there wasn't enough going on with Jupiter, Uranus,
Saturn and Pluto, we also have Mars and Venus forming
a shifting sunset triangle with Saturn in the constellation
Virgo the Virgin, opposite the constellation Pisces
the World Savior. Mars and Saturn are at their closest
